Vigil
Jill "Doll" Blaine has done this 343 times—plummeting to earth to comfort dying souls in their final moments. But her latest charge is different. The powerful K. J. Boone, oil tycoon and unapologetic titan of industry, will not be consoled. Why would he be? He lived a big, bold, epic life. The world is better for it. Isn't it?
As Boone's final evening unfolds, his mansion becomes a stage for the surreal. Visitors arrive—some living, some dead, some not quite either. A man from a drought-ravaged village materializes with a story Boone doesn't want to hear. Old business cronies show up with chilling plans for his postdeath future. What begins as a deathbed vigil becomes a full-blown reckoning.
With dark humor and explosive imagination, Saunders takes on corporate greed, environmental destruction, and the cost of a life lived without regret—asking whether, when the damage is done, absolution is still possible.
Superfan
Minnie Yang is adrift. A lonely freshman at UT Austin, she feels invisible—until she discovers HOURglass, a K-pop-inspired boy band, and the online forums that worship them. She's drawn especially to Halo, the group's sharp-edged bad boy, whose intensity feels somehow familiar. After a brief romance with a fellow student goes painfully wrong, Minnie pours everything into the fandom, clinging to each livestream, bonding with strangers online, filling the silence with something that feels like belonging.
On the other side of the screen, Halo is also hiding. Before he was a superstar, he was Eason Chen—a high school dropout haunted by a tragic accident and desperate to bury his past. Onstage, bathed in the adoration of thousands, he can almost forget. But when Minnie is pulled into a shadowy fan community convinced they need to protect the band from a dark conspiracy, she begins digging into the very secrets Eason has fought to keep hidden. The line between devotion and obsession blurs—and when the truth surfaces, it threatens to destroy them both.
Dazzling, unsettling, and deeply heartfelt, Jenny Tinghui Zhang's Superfan is a novel about fandom in all its magic and terror, and the extreme lengths we go to in order to rid ourselves of loneliness.
Dear Debbie
Debbie Mullen has spent years dispensing wisdom through her advice column, Dear Debbie, guiding the wives of New England through marriages marred by neglect, belittlement, and worse. She's always known exactly what to say. But these days, her own life is unraveling. She's just been fired for telling a reader to get a divorce. Her husband is keeping secrets—ones she's tracking through the app she installed on his phone. Her older daughter's boyfriend has broken her heart. Her younger daughter's been cut from the soccer team by a coach who called her "chubby."
Debbie has always been the reasonable one, the practical one, the bigger person. Not anymore. If the people in her life don't know what's best for themselves, maybe it's her obligation to help them see the light. What starts as small acts of retribution quickly escalates, as increasingly unhinged entries from Debbie's private drafts folder reveal a woman whose moral code is consistent, deeply felt—and more than a little terrifying.
Darkly funny, wickedly paced, and full of twists, Freida McFadden's Dear Debbie is a revenge thriller about what happens when a woman who's given everyone else the right advice finally decides to take her own.
The Seven Daughters of Dupree
It's 1995, and fourteen-year-old Tati wants one thing: to know who her father is. But her mother, Nadia, keeps her secrets locked tight, and her grandmother Gladys won't say a word about why she left Land's End, Alabama, decades ago. As Tati digs deeper, she unearths a legacy far larger than one missing name — seven generations of Dupree women, bound by blood, silence, and a mysterious malediction that means they will only ever bear daughters.
Their stories unspool across more than a century. Jubi in 1917, whose attempt to pass for white unravels when she gives birth to dark-skinned Ruby. Ruby's reckless passion for Sampson in 1934. The night in 1980 that changed Nadia's life forever. And further back still, an enslaved ancestor who risked everything for freedom. Through it all runs a thread of Black women caring for each other's hair in kitchens and basement salons — pressing and braiding as they pass down stories, warnings, and love.
Sweeping and unflinching, The Seven Daughters of Dupree is a novel about what mothers hide from their daughters, what daughters inherit anyway, and the fierce bonds that hold a family together across generations.
